SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF APPLICANT'S REQUEST The applicant, Ada County Highway District, has applied for Annexation and Zoning (AZ) to C- G (General Commercial) for 4.92 acres of property currently zoned RUT in Ada County. The site is located on the south side of Ustick Road, approximately 1/3 mile east of Eagle Road. This site is currently rural residential with one single-family residential building and accessory buildings. The applicant is proposing to construct a collector roadway with the remainder of the property to be sold for future commercial uses. The site will provide a public connection for future commercial cross access in the SE corner of Eagle and Ustick Roads. 2. SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION This item was previouslv on the March 14th. March 21st and May 2nd City Council ae:endas. This item has been continued to the Mav 9th hearine: so the applicant could meet with the nei!!hbors alone: Duane Drive and meet with City Staff re!!ardin!! services within the proposed collector roadwav. ACHD's Garv I"selman has told staff that 0" April 17th he met with 3 out of the 4 home owners. and the director of the adjacent funeral home (these are the neie:hbors that are directly affected bv the proposed roadwav location.) Mr. Inselman has indicated to staff that those in attendance at that meedn!! are a!!reeable to the ACHD constructill!! the roadway provided dual fences are installed between their property and the roadway. One ofthe fences would be a solid fence that would screen the properties from the road. and the second fence would be primarily constructed to contain livestock. On May 2nd City Staff met with Mr. Inselman to discuss the timin!! and construction responsibilities for the sewer and water lines within the proposed Alleys Way collector street. Staff has updated the staff report below to reflect that ACHD will not be responsible for the costs of installin!! sewer and water within Alleys Way. However. ACHD should coordinate the construction of the roadway with the Public Works Department so that Water and/or Sanitary Sewer Mains can be put in Alleys Wav ahead of its construction. Staff has not added a fendn!! provision/condition for the eastern boundary within Section 10 of the Staff Report. The Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission heard the item on February 16,2006. At the public hearing they moved to recommend approval. a. Summary of Public Hearing: i. In favor: Becky McKay, Engineering Solutions; Gary Insleman, ACHD staff ii. In opposition: None. Ill.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN POLICIES AND GOALS This property is designated "Mixed Use Regional" on the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. In Chapter VII ofthe Comprehensive Plan, this designation is defined in part as an area that is situated in highly visible or transitioning parts ofthe City where innovative and flexible design opportunities are encouraged. The MU.R has no upper limit on the square footage of non. residential uses and is intended to allow a broad range of uses. Staff recommends that the Commission and Council rely on any verbal or written testimony that may be provided at the public hearing when detennining the most appropriate zone for this property. Staff finds the following Comprehensive Plan policies to be applicable to this property and apply to the subject property (staff analysis in italics below policy): ADA COUNTY HIGHWAY DISTRICT ANNEXATION - AZ~05-060 PAGE 4 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF MAY 9,2006 . Require that development projects have planned for the provision of all public services. (Chapter VII, Goal III, Objective A, Action I) When the City established its Area of City Impact, it planned to provide City services to the subject property. The City of Meridian plans to provide municipal services to the lands proposed to be annexed in the following manner: . Sanitary sewer and water service will be extended to the project at the developer's expense. The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Meridian Rural Fire District. Once annexed the lands will be under the jurisdiction of the Meridian City Fire Department, who currently shares resource and personnel with the Meridian Rural Fire Department. The subject lands currently lie within the jurisdiction of the Ada County Sheriff's Office. Once annexed the lands will be serviced by the Meridian Police Department (MPD). The roadways adjacent to the su~ject lands are currently owned and maintained by the Ada County Highway District (ACHD). This service will not change, The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian School District #2. This service will not change. The subject lands are currently serviced by the Meridian Library District. This service will not change and the Meridian Library District should suffer no revenue loss as a result of the subject annexation. . . . . . Municipal, fee-supported, services will be provided by the Meridian Building Department, the Meridian Public Works Department, the Meridian Water Department, the Meridian Wastewater Department, the Meridian Planning Department, Meridian Utility Billing Services, and Sanitary Services Company. . Protect existing residential properties from incompatible land use development on adjacent parcels. (Chapter VII, Goal IV, Objective C, Action I) The applicant is proposing a commercial zone adjacent to proposed or established commercial districts. Staff jìnds that impacts to the existing residential properties to the east can be limited through design as to be compatible with the proposed development if appropriate fencing, access points, and landscaping are installed with this project and in cooperation with the future ACHD collector road. "Pem1it new. . . commercial developments only where urban services can be reasonably provided at the time of final approval and development is contiguous to the City." (Chapter IV, pg. 26, Goal I, Obj. A, #6) Municipal water, solid waste and other services exist to this area of Meridian. . "Locate new community commercial areas on arterials. . .near residential areas in such a way as to complement with adjoining residential areas." (Chapter VII, pg. 43, Goal III, Obj. D, #3) The proposed commercial use is located at the intersection of a future collector road and an arterial roadway. A 35-foot wide street buffer will be required along Ustick Road and a 20- foot wide street buffer will be installed as a part of the western side of the collector roadway to be designed in part to mitigate potential negative impacts upon the vehicular traffic on . ADA COUNTY HIGHWAY DISTRICT ANNEXA nON - AZ-05-060 PAGE 5 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAfF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF MAY 9, 2006 arterial roads and future vehicular impact on existing residential uses. There are several major commercial developments with associated mixed use residential developments occurring in the area to which the proposal will provide service. . "Restrict curb cuts and access points on collectors and arterial streets." (Chapter VII, pg. 107, Goal IV, Obj. D, #2) The curb cuts and access points will be designed to be consistent with other proposals of this size and nature. However, these will be approved with the filing of a detailed development proposal andfull review by ACHD. . Require street connections between subdivisions at regular intervals to enhance connectivity and better traffic flow. (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 6) . For the future collector roadway, one access road to Ustick Road with afuture connection to the south through Redfeather Estates. Cross access will be required east and west of the site. Staff is generally supportive of the conceptual connectivity proposal. Review new development for appropriate opportunities to connect to local roads and collectors in adjacent developments. (Chapter VI, Goal II, Objective A, Action 13) No stub streets are currently provided to the subject site. See bullet above. Staff also finds the following 2002 Comprehensive Plan text policies to be applicable to this application: . "The capacity of arterial. . .roadways can be greatly diminished by excessive driveway connections to the roadways. The City should cooperate with Achd to minimize access points on arterial. . .roadways as development applications are reviewed." (Chapter VI, page 72) "Develop methods, such as cross-access agreements, frontage roads, to reduce the number of existing access points on to arterial streets." (Chapter VI, Goal II, Obj. A, #12, page 79). "Identify transitional zones to buffer commercial and residential uses, to allow uses such as offices and other low intensity uses." (Chapter VII, Goal I, Obj. B, #7, page 102) . . StajJjìnds that the proposed C-G zoning designation is generally harmonious with and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. 9. ZONING ORDINANCE a. Allowed Uses in the Commercial Districts: UDC Table 11-2B-2 lists the permitted, accessory, and conditional uses in the C-G zoning district. b. Purpose Statement of Zone: The purpose of the Commercial Districts is to provide for the retail and service needs of the community in accord with the Meridian Comprehensive Plan. Four Districts are designated which differ in the size and scale of commercial structures accommodated in the district, the scale and mix of allowed commercial uses, and the location of the district in proximity to streets and highways. C-G General Retail And Service Commercial District: The purpose of the C-G district is to provide for commercial uses which are customarily operated entirely or almost entirely within a building; to provide for a review of the impact of proposed commercial uses which are auto and service oriented and are located in close proximity to major highway or arterial streets; to fulfill the need of travel-related services as well as retail sales for the transient and permanent motoring public.

ANALYSIS a. Analysis of Facts Leading to Staff Recommendation: I. AZ Application: Based on the policies and goals contained in the Comprehensive Plan, staff believes that the requested C-G zone is appropriate for this property. Please see Exhibit B for detailed analysis of the required facts and findings. The annexation legal description submitted with the application (stamped on November 3, 2005 by Gregory G. Carter, PLS) shows the property as contiguous to the existing corporate boundary ofthe City of Meridian. Special Considerations: Development Agreement: UDC 11~5B-3D2 and Idaho Code § 65-6711A provides the City the authority to require a property owner to enter into a Development Agreement (DA) with the City that may require some written commitment for all future uses. Staff believes that a DA is necessary to ensure that this property is developed in a fashion that is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation and does not negatively impact nearby properties. Prior to the annexation ordinance approval, a Development Agreement (DA) shall be entered into between the City of Meridian, property owner (at the time of annexation ordinance adoption), and the developer. The applicant shall contact the City Attorney. Bill Nary. at 888-4433 to initiate this process. The DA shall incorporate the following: . That all future uses shall not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the general welfare by reason of excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare or odors. That all future development of the subject property shall be constructed in accordance with City of Meridian ordinances in effect at the time of development. That the applicant will be responsible for all eosts associated 'Kith coordinatiß!! the sewer and water service main extension with the Public Works Department. That any existing domestic wells and/or septic systems within this project will have to be removed from their domestic service, per City Ordinance Section 5-7-517, when services are available from the City of Meridian. Wells may be used for non-domestic purposes such as landscape irrigation. That prior to issuance of any building pennit, the subject property be subdivided in accordance with the City of Meridian Unified Development Code. That a street buffer, constructed in accordance with City Code, be installed along Ustick Road and the future collector roadway. That when a preliminary plat is submitted to the City, the entire 4.92 acres that are the subject property for AZ-05-060 will be included within the boundaries of said plat (no out-parcels). . . . . . . ADA COUNTY HIGHWAY DISTRICT ANNEXA nON - AZ-05-060 PAGE 7 CITY OF MERIDIAN PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT FOR THE HEARING DATE OF MAY 9, 2006 . That when a preliminary plat is submitted to the City, no direct lot access to Ustick Road will be allowed. At such time as individual uses are proposed, direct access to Ustick Road shall be prohibited. This is not intended to prohibit a public street connection to Ustick Road. That in the case of any division of the property cross access to parcels south and west of the site be granted at intervals to be detem1ined by ACHD. That a landscape buffer will not be required along the east side of the future collector roadway. That fencin!!. however. will be provided by the applicant alon!! the eastern boundary of this site. unless the adjacent use is a commercial or institutional use and does not want fencine installed. . . b.
